Worship this week – Note special schedule!!
One worship service this weekend – 10:00 a.m. Sunday
Devotions for this Week : 
Beginning of Good News                             December 27, 2015
I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. Mark 1:8
Mark’s gospel begins with a fiery preacher and a challenging message. No silent night here, no gift-bearing visitors. John the Baptist awaits his cousin, Jesus, by a stream in the wilderness. Temptations await Jesus on the other side. Soon, by the lakeshore, the divine call will be irresistible.
Read:Sunday, Mark 1:1-20, Beginning of Good News
Monday, Psalm 91:9-12
Tuesday, Malachi 3:1-7, The Coming Messenger
Wednesday, Isaiah 40:1-11, Comfort, Comfort
Thursday, Isaiah 44:1-8, God’s Blessing on Israel
Friday, Joel 2:28-29, God’s Spirit Poured Out
Saturday, Isaiah 42:1-9, The Servant, a Light to the Nations
  • How do these Old Testament readings tie into the gospel reading for Sunday?
  • Why do you think Jesus’ ministry began with his baptism? What does your baptism mean to you?
  • How do you make it known that Jesus is your savior? What could you do to make Christ known through the way you live your life?
Do: By acting on what we learn, we make God’s word come alive. Do the following activity this week. — Make a list of 5 ways your life could be a proclamation of Jesus’ presence in your life. Focus on doing more of one of those throughout the week.
Bless: May God fill your life with the good news of eternal life. Amen.
